All tracks start somewhere between the K1 and K2 buildings. There are two different running tracks with lengths of 4,5km and 8km as well as a walking track with 2,4km.
So let’s go! Put on your running shoes and grab your cell phones and start! You just have to download the GPX-file of the track you want to run or walk onto your smartphone and open it with a navigation app (e.g. Komoot, OsmAd or GPX-Viewer). An alternative is to download it onto your fitnesstracker or smartwatch via the manufacturer program (e.g. for Suunto: Movescout and for Garmin: Basecamp)
Note: At the moment there is no possibility to change your clothes or take a shower at the Campus City Cemter.
